At Falomo Underbridge, look for 'Danfo' (yellow commercial buses) heading to Obalende. Board one.
From Obalende, you can either take another 'Danfo' that specifically goes to Onikan, or if Onikan is close enough (e.g., National Museum area), you can walk. Many 'Danfo' from Obalende pass through Onikan on their way to CMS/Idumota.

Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) or late evening (after 8:00 PM) are ideal to avoid the worst of Lagos' peak traffic. Travel between 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM will significantly increase your travel time and potentially fare prices.
Safety Rating
Medium. This route is generally safe during daylight hours. However, late evening travel (after 8:00 PM) carries a higher risk of 'one-chance' incidents, especially on less crowded buses or 'Keke'. Always be aware of your surroundings, avoid displaying valuables, and share your location with a trusted contact.
BRT / Rail / Water
There are no direct BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) or rail lines from Banana Island to Onikan. Travelers will primarily rely on 'Keke' and 'Danfo' services. However, BRT services are available from Obalende/TBS to other parts of Lagos, which might be useful if connecting further from Onikan.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
